Not my best, haha. Sorry. I promise the songs get better.
I used to lose so much sleep, cause losin' you made me feel so weak
Maybe unlike me you weren't a Circus Freak, but bein' up high has gotta be bleak
It's only the real crazy ones that stay true, maybe that's why I lost you
You told me that one day the scars would ache, but thinkin' they ever stopped was your mistake
~
You used to be part of the team, then you turned "normal" and broke my dream...
~
I hope you know that this ain't over yet
But I'll crawl right back like a broken marionette
Someone we know reached out to see what has changed
I told them you sawed my strings and left me deranged
I like me better this way, I've found a circus in your place
Give me your ticket, the marionette show will be on in a minute

You never wanted me, I was just a puppet on some strings
But every touch, every word, made me believe
I should have known better to think the anger was real
Why'd you act like I had a heart I could steal?
I'm done tired of flowers, why are they so weak?
I'm scared to know what will happen when my rose won't speak
My circus is downing in numbers one by one
And not one of them ever told me that we were done

Today while talking to a friend, I saw my old jester, flowers in their hair
The strings rubbed against my skin, all were too painful to bear
Marionette ballerinas, dancing in a row
I found their friend, "he cut my strings" and this I told him so
Do not pity the crushed rose, Thou not knoweth whom thy thorns have snared
the clowns have painted smiles on their faces, as if they ever really cared

But I'll always be your marionette...
